Chapter 241: Came With Evil Intent

When the distant and gentle bell rang, Lou Mu Yan was drinking wine and chatting with the other people in the courtyard of an inn in a city.

“The preliminary round countdown has begun.” Luo Li’s eyes were filled with excitement.

Lou Mu Yan shook the white jade wine glass in her hand and the red liquid inside was crystal clear, “From today onwards, the targets we need to guard against have increased to the elite teams of other kingdoms too.”

“Shouldn’t you say that we can finally snatch their jade tablets?” Si Nan’s fair, handsome face flushed red after drinking, making him look even more gorgeous.

Lou Mu Yan couldn’t resist sighing that Si Nan was truly quite attractive just by looking at his appearance.

He’lian Lie drank the Spiritual Wine in his cup, “We should have kept Mu Tong and the others and kill them now, so that we can get a few more purple jade tablets.”

Before the countdown bell of the competition space rang, the identity jade tablets of all dead Sword Masters would shatter and dissipate, so the jade tablets of Mu Tong and the others disappeared a few days ago already.

“You’re the typical ‘giving advice in hindsight’.” Si Nan glanced at him.

“When are we going to the central city?” Ye Qing Han asked, looking up at Lou Mu Yan.

Lou Mu Yan leaned on her chin with one hand, and she shook the wine glass with the other, “We’ll rush over tonight and go directly to the central city tomorrow.”

At this time, this team of five groups revealed a faint trend of being led by Lou Mu Yan, and basically no one objected to her decision.

“Si Nan, I heard that you’ve always been well-informed?” Lou Mu Yan asked lazily.

Seeing her half-squinted eyes, lazily leaning her body on the stone table with an indescribable demeanour, Si Nan’s eyes rolled in thought, then smiled frivolously: “Little beauty really understands me.”

Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at him, “I’ll leave it to you to inquire about the purple, orange and cyan jade tablets. If you see whichever teams are ruthless and cruel, we’ll attack those teams.”

The second round of the competition was mainly to snatch identity jade tablets—they needed ten purple jade tablets, thirty orange jade tablets, fifty cyan jade tablets, and at least a hundred jade tablets of other colours in order to continue to advance.

During the preliminary round countdown, the competition for jade tablets was allowed, so there definitely would be a lot of gang fights everywhere during these ten days.

“No problem, leave that to me.” Si Nan tossed a charming look at Lou Mu Yan.

Lou Mu Yan shuddered, filled with goosebumps, and said coldly: “Frivolous.”

Si Nan choked. Lou Mu Yan really wasn’t a normal woman.

If in the past he had shown such a devilishly charming smile to the talented female Sword Masters of those distinguished clans in the Imperial Capital, it would definitely cause a group of women to go crazy.

But it was precisely because of her uniqueness that he was interested in her, wasn’t it?

Luo Li and He’lian Lie couldn’t resist casting a contemptuous look at Si Nan—serves you right!

Ye Qing Han’s beautiful thin lips rose in a slight arc. Lou Mu Yan didn’t like men like Si Nan.

When it got dark, Lou Mu Yan and their party left the inn and rushed towards the central city.

As soon as they left the city, more than a dozen elite teams immediately followed them.

Lou Mu Yan and the others turned a blind eye. These days, they’ve been followed by elite teams from other kingdoms each time they went out to hunt at night, and the number of teams only continued to increase.

After learning that Lou Mu Yan could use Arrays to deal with medium-sized Beast Tides, many people had the same thought. Plus the fact that as long as they paid two-thirds of the Demonic Beast’s Crystal Cores they killed, they could kill Demonic Beasts in the fire Array to earn points, so everyone followed them unanimously.

Lou Mu Yan didn’t object either. Her own Demonic Beasts were very picky, and now only ate Tier 6 Demonic Beast’s Crystal Cores, even more prodigal than her. So it seemed like she would always lack Crystal Cores.

Besides, if her team continued to ‘eat alone’, it would inevitably lead to joint counterattacks by numerous elite teams from large kingdoms. If they left some ‘soup’ for them to drink, then, putting aside alliances, at least they wouldn’t join the army to go against them.

Tonight was a little different from the past, however. Sword Masters from different teams were on guard against each other, fearing that someone would suddenly jump out and contend for jade tablets.

Fortunately, Lou Mu Yan had given them a heads up in advance. Anyone who wanted to hunt with them at night to earn points must abide by the rules, and they were not allowed to kill each other, which put an end to the little ideas of many people.

That night, under the guidance of Mo Yan, they wiped out five waves of Beast Tides again, and arrived at the central city at dawn the next day.

The central city was grandeur and majestic, and one could feel a solemn and ancient atmosphere from even a distance. The city could accommodate at least ten thousand people, and the streets were bustling.

There were a few more inns in the central city than in other refuge cities. They still went into the largest one where there were courtyards reserved for the superpower elite teams.

No matter where, there would always be special treatment, and only the strong could become the party that enjoyed it.

“Lou Mu Yan, are we still going out to hunt tonight?” Luo Li asked Lou Mu Yan right before they were about to return to their rooms.

The others also turned their attention to her to see what she decided.

“We won’t go tonight. Let’s properly restore our combat power and go group battling tomorrow.” Lou Mu Yan left that sentence and entered her room.

The others looked at each other—was there really going to be a group battle tomorrow? How exciting, no?

The five teams, having interacted with Lou Mu Yan for a long time, had all been infected by her temperament, and they all had a tendency to enjoy the thrill, so they were very enthusiastic about the competition of jade tablets that would soon arrive.

“Did you feel the resentful gaze that was hiding across the street from us?” After entering the room, Mo Yan jumped from Lou Mu Yan’s shoulders onto the bed and stretched lazily.

Lou Mu Yan looked at the originally prudent and noble Mo Yan’s casual and lazy demeanour right now, and couldn’t resist smiling, “How could I not have felt such a deep resentment.”

“Why don’t we snatch their jade tablets tomorrow?” Mo Yan found a soft position and laid there as he suggested.

Lou Mu Yan looked at him without a good attitude, “That’ll be too easy on her. I told her I’ll let her experience the taste of rising to the clouds then falling down.”

Before they checked into the inn just now, there was an obscure, malicious look cast onto them from an alley with killing intent. Even if Lou Mu Yan’s Mental Energy hadn’t recovered yet, but she didn’t even need to look to know it was Xue Ling’er.

Before, she humiliated Xue Ling’er and didn’t kill her, not because she didn’t dare to do it or couldn’t do it, but it was purely to destroy her both physically and mentally in the future. Otherwise it would be too boring to toy her to death so easily.

Mo Yan raised his head and there was brilliance flowing in his star-like eyes—whoever offended this woman, whoever would be unlucky!

Bing Ji trembled at the smile on Lou Mu Yan’s lips. As long as Owner smiled like that, then someone would definitely be out of luck.

The Human-Eating Blood Thorn Vine King shrunk his main branch, secretly thankful that he had ‘abandoned the dark and turned to the light’ early at the time, otherwise who knows how he would have been ‘cleaned up’ by Little Owner.

Only Miao Miao kept rubbing against Lou Mu Yan’s wrist intimately, indicating that everything Owner did was right.

Lou Mu Yan naturally noticed the gazes of the several Spirit Pets. She let out a laugh and shook her head, but she was very happy inwardly.

That night, they didn’t act, and Lou Mu Yan called everyone out of the city early the next morning.

Everyone was basically satisfied with their own points rankings. It was fine as long as they could keep their good ranking. The more important thing at present was to compete for jade tablets.

When they walked to a remote mountain in the distance to prepare to hunt and earn points while looking for Sword Masters from other kingdoms to snatch some jade tablets, they were suddenly blocked by a large group of allied people who appeared.

These people basically had four words written on their faces: ‘Came with evil intent’.
